National Geographic Script
This script simulates a high quality (portrait) photo like these from the National Geographic.
Copy it into the scripts folder from GIMP, you will find it then under Filters -> Generic -> National Geographic.
Thanks to Martin Egger for the shadow revovery and the sharpen script, which I included in the script.

Update1: Added local contrast option.
Update2: Optional inverted layer mask for brighter skin types.
Update3: Added a batch version of this script, run it with
gimp -i -b '(elsamuko-national-geographic-batch "picture.jpg" 60 1 60 25 0.4 1 0)' -b '(gimp-quit 0)'
or for more than one picture
gimp -i -b '(elsamuko-national-geographic-batch "*.jpg" 60 1 60 25 0.4 1 0)' -b '(gimp-quit 0)'
Be careful, the batch script overwrites the original image. More info here:
http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Basic_Batch/
Update4: Fix for the batch script, it merges now all layers before saving.
Update5: Extensive internal fixes. Better defaults. And all edits are executed on extra layers.
Update6: Batch script also updated.
Update7: Two tinting options, red and blue.
For all scripts together, go here:

Works very well, thank you
Thank you 4 this script. It works very well and is faster to use than similar effects from GMIC plugin pack.
love it
Very cool! I don't usually do a lot of editing but I do use Gimp and love it. I've been playing around some with keeping the originals and then turning most of the image into black and white and copying over just some parts in color. That's been fun. But this gives a whole other dimension of clarity. Kudos to the developer of this script! Cheers, Darrell
Had this Script-fu for a
Had this Script-fu for a little while now and didn't realize all the enhancements since then. Very nice Script for what it does. I am a big fan of the NG classic look and it does a great job of mimicking that look. :)
script modification
Thanks a lot to Samuel for help with modification of the script to fit personal needs.
Thanks a lot
preset opacities
Hi there.
I love this script and i use it much. That is why i have try to chenge preset layer opacities for the 3 generated layers ...
I was able to preset the opacity values for "Overlay 2" and "Screen" layers, but i am not able to preset an opacity value different as 100 for the "Overlay" layer.
Can someone, please, tell me where and how to change that?
Thanks in advance.
Love Love Love This Script!
Thank you elsamuko for such an amazing script. It makes me laugh with delight.

This is great! Works as
This is great! Works as advertised, and slider offers many different options. Thanks for making this available for GIMP.
amazing. period.
It's like Windex for your images. I've tried this script on portraits, low-light concert pix, still lifes and florals, pet photos, pretty much anything I can think to throw at it and it never disappoints. Great work!!! Thank you!
amazing!
LOVE this...thank you so much!!!
error message?
Hi i was soooo excited about this script, the difference is amazing and i managed to copy it to the scripts folder and everything worked out fine until i actually went to use it and it came up with this error message:
Error while executing elsamuko-national-geographic:
Error: eval: unbound variable: cadr
What does that mean?
What version of GIMP?
What version of GIMP are you using? I am using 2.6.8 and its working fine.
error message?
i am using version 2.6.8 too, and re-installed it and everything, to double check. and its still coming up with the same error message. it's odd because all the other scripts work fine, just not this one.
Try This
Try deleting the current NG script, and download a fresh copy (if you haven't already).
:(
:( didn't work. blah how frustrating, I tried re-installing and doing stuff from scratch but I have noo idea what the matter is. still comes up with the same problems. Oh well...
Check and see
Check and see if you have two copies of the same script in different locations. Your GIMP folders and in Program Files, if your using Windows. I never thought to ask if you were on a Windows machine.
checked
Ok I just checked and it's only in the scripts folder and I am using Mac OS X snow leopard?
Console
Maybe your GIMP installation is defective, you can check this so:
Open GIMP.
Go to Filters -> Script-Fu -> Console
Enter this:
(cadr '(1 2 3))
The result should be 2.
If GIMP complains about this, you should reinstall it.
(cadr ) (an abbreviation of
(cadr ...) (an abbreviation of (car (cdr ...)); used to get the first element of the rest of the list, in general the second element) is defined in the script-fu.init file in the global script directory. So if cadr is not defined, then it looks like this file is not read. Does anything else that's contained there - e.g. caddr - not work, either?
No luck
I typed in the cadr command and it came up with:
Error: eval: unbound variable: cadr
Which means that something is defective. I uninstalled it and reinstalled the whole thing, and its still coming up with the same issue. Schumaml, I'm not sure what you meant by the cadr (I am a bit lost when it comes to cadr and such haha) so is there a way to define 'cadr' or is there no hope?
Sorry to be a pain guys, but thanks for all the help.
Where did the color go!
Used NG-filter on MacOS Snowleopard. Good sharpness but were did the colors go? A red barn became black.
Maybee the solution could be to before NG-filter make a new layer with realy fat colors and opacity say 25% . And the apply NG-Filter
Using elsamuko-national-geographic.scm on command line
Done
